Bharat Soka Gakkai's Pune Exhibition 'Seeds of Change"

“The future at once holds great peril and great promise”
“We stand at a critical moment in Earth’s history…a time when humanity must choose the future”
“No matter how complex global problems may seem, it is we ourselves who have given rise to them. They cannot be beyond our power to resolve…”

This text is on the introductory panel of Seeds of change : The Earth Charter and Human potential , an exhibition initially created by the Soka Gakkai International and the Earth Charter Initiative for the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development. The exhibition reflects the global dimension of pollution, poverty and injustice, and the burden placed on the environment by technological progress. The message is clear: We must alter the situation confronting us before time runs out.

the inauguration of the exhibition was held on Saturday, 9th Sept. at 11 am at Nehru Memorial Hall. Pune citizens, environmentalists, students from Pune schools and NGOs visited the exhibition. The BSG Pune through this exhibition helped to spread awareness and motivate citizens initiative at a community level, to creating a sustainable and peaceful global society. A pamphlet titled What can I do? How can I make a difference? How can I bring change? was distributed to all visitors.
